Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced and using some coconut oil grease the inside of mini loaf pan. Alternatively line a oven tray with baking paper to place the mixture into.
2. Roughly diced the medjool dates and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
4. To this mixture add the remaining wet ingredients (oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs) along with the diced dates. Mix until thoroughly combine and the eggs are incorporated. (At this stage if the batter looks too dry try adding another egg or some more oil).
5. Divide the mixture up evenly into your pre greased baking tins, or spread the whole mixture onto the pre-lined oven tray. Using the back of a wooden spoon flatten the mixture with force to flatten and firmly secure into the oven tray/tins.
6. Using a piece of baking paper will help to flatten the mixture without it sticking to your wooden spoon.
7. Top with extra shredded coconut and any left over nuts and seeds. Bake in a preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden on the edges and tops of the bars.
8. Allow to cool completely before removing from tins or slicing into bars.
9. Store in an airtight container for a week or freeze for up to three months.
